If you have different batteries from the past years, it make sense to weight each of them, and pick the lightest one for your robot at the regional. I've heard team lose a whole pound just because they switch to a lighter battery, especially to a older one. That way, you don't have to worry about FIRST scale not working .

Check this thread from FIRST forum - may not be able to use any batteries other than from the 2003 kit.

Our main concern is keeping one charged during the competition if you only have 2 to work with.

There is definitely up to 1 pound difference in weights among batteries, even same year and model
